Some Reality TV

So.....there is a show where the winner gets their own cooking show, another about making dresses out of corn husks & even one showcasing America's best who are able to perform such feats as drinking milk through a straw with their nose. As entertaining as those shows all are for the general masses, I have a few shows that I'd like to see take off. If there has to be reality shows can't they at least be good?

How about a show called "So you think you can act?", where the winner gets to be in a movie. Or one which showcases special effects artists. I'd much rather watch a contest where the players have to make a realistic Zombie out of house hold goods or something to that effect as opposed to watching people make 10 story high cakes with a "My Sweet 16" theme.

Mainly I think that most reality shows these days have lost their relevance. The first American Idol was a great idea (even though it was already going on in England) and I'll even say that the first year of America's Next Top Chef was interesting. However, I think it takes a lot away from those shows when they go on for 6 seasons. Instead of tweaking the same old show year after year to draw in people, I'd love to see new, relevant, original shows come out.

Whenever they start auditioning for "America's Best Special Effects Artist" or "Who Wants to Be Killed in a Horror Film?", I'll be sure to watch that those!
